Shen Yun Performing Arts is a triumph of collaboration, bringing together over a hundred of the world's foremost classically trained Chinese dancers, choreographers, musicians, and vocalists. It also boasts the world's only full orchestra that embraces both Western and Chinese instruments as its permanent members.
Based in New York, Shen Yun Performing Arts is distinguished by its conscious effort to remain independent of China's communist regime, which has abused and impoverished the arts for decades. It is proud to thus include members who practice Falun Gong. The company aspires to create original performances that not only entertain, but also more deeply educate, enrich, and inspire. The company's rich repertory is drawn from the pages of history, universal themes, and the world around us. All choreography and music performed are original.

Very beautiful dances , history and performances A must to see
Enjoyed the Music, The Dances, The Stories, and The Costumes.
I thought this was going to be like Cirque, but on a lesser scale. My fault for not checking deeper. It is ballet with lots of beautiful colors and talented dancers. The stories were difficult to follow. If you like ballet, I’m sure it is good.
Shen yun is well put-together, and I enjoyed the history and stories presented. But I would have appreciated as much color and movement as I saw in the many TV ads, where color upon color is layered on each other in a spectacular way. On stage, many acts had costuming that had been used in other acts, and while the backgroud digital landscapes were nice, very few displayed the spectacular-ness, if that's a word, that I saw on TV. The acts with props like fabric flowers and various ribbons were excellent, I just wish there were more of them. I did enjoy the two emcees who previewed each subsequent act. I'm glad I went, but I wouldn't go again.
Exellent performance. A 10+ Magnificent profesional dancers. And I loved 🥰 the pianist !!!
Very well done. Excellent acting and sound. One of the better events that I have experienced. Very worth seeing if you enjoy concert presentations.
The performances were astounding with the exception of the two males singers. I think the production should stick to the dancing only. Along with the fabulous orchestra, it was a memorable evening. I could have done without the intervals of the right wing propaganda though which put a damper on the performance.
Very fun and entertaining!! A must go to event! Very talented performers!!
The performances of the various skits were wonderful, the background that takes the actors from the stage to the world beyond was wonderful. The heavy handed NO Atheism and NO Evolution by the two singers was disturbing. Also, the two singers were the least polished performers, but the message would still have been disturbing.
The costumes and choreography, along with the live orchestra, are so beautiful. The grace, acrobatics and timing of the performers is a sight to behold. But there are two theatrical pieces and two solo songs pushing this religious group’s version of spirituality, and that gets a little old. Just show us more of traditional China without the preaching.
Although visually stunning with beautifully vibrant colors, it wasn’t what I expected. It fell just a little short. It’s a wonderfully executed show with talented dancers, but I expected a continuous story, but instead it was broken up into many little stories. Now that I’ve finally experienced Shen Yun, I’m good!
Surprised that it was several different stories. So much fun. I loved it!! Going to see it again soon!!
The show was very entertaining. From the flipping to the Beautiful colors and graphics. Only reason it was not a perfect rating for me is because late viewers were allowed to come and block the view of other on-time during the performance.
Absolutely incredible talent, dancing, and symphony. Would see it again. Really enjoyed the night. The politics was kind of weird. Recommend they tone it down or be more subtle with it, allow art to shine, speak for itself, don’t need to over explain or dumb down the political expression.
Liked the narration Loved the video effects Amazing athletic dancers Interesting choreography Show was a good length The singers seemed out of place however The venues parking was very slow
The announcers and music were irritating. Too long and repetitive.
I took my 7 yr old granddaughter to the show and we both thought it was tremendous when we were leaving she said grandma that was so awesome I loved it the costumes and tech aspect were so amazing I would see it again
The expression of art through classical Chinese dance was absolutely beautiful and the dancers were a joy to watch. Unfortunately, what I did not know going into the show, is that Shen Yun is actually an in-your-face advertisement for the cult like religion of Falun Dafa. So be prepared for lots of religious propaganda and a whole lot of : “Atheism and evolution are deadly ideas. Modern trends destroy what makes us human."Those are actually quotes repeated again and again and again and again throughout the performance. Sadly, all of the promotion of Falun Dafa really took away from the performance and left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Do your research beforehand so you know what you're signing up for. long as you don't mind being served up a heaping plate of religious propaganda.
Not only the artistry of the dancing and music but also the message delivered are so wonderful! Absolutely FIVE STAR!
